“Blackjack Surrender?”
Some Casinos offer a “Blackjack Surrender.” If this is an option where you are playing, then you should review the 2 ways this can be played:
The first option takes place after the cards are dealt, but before the dealer has looked at his cards. This is called an Early Surrender.
The second option takes place after the dealer has looked at his cards to reveal if a Blackjack hand was dealt. This is called a late surrender.
In both circumstances the dealer takes your surrendered cards, along with half of your bet.
Determining if this type of play is right for you will greatly depend on your strategy and the house rules of the casino.
The basic strategy for using the surrender options are when your hand values are:
Hard 16 versus dealer 9
Hard 15 or 16 versus dealer 10
Hard 16 Versus dealer A
When the surrender is not allowed, then the strategy would change to Hit on all but the Hard 16 Versus 10, you would stand.
If you are ready to surrender to the fun of the Big “M” Casino Gambling Cruise, then make your reservation today.
